| Hi Peter,
|
| We use oracle drivers for ODBC on webserver which is IIS5.0.
|
| Once the data is inserted in database and when we fetch back and look for
| string length using ln() function in the ASP Page, it doesn't give us the
| right output. Eventhough the characters stored are three, it shows the
| string lenth as six. Also it doesn't work with mid(),split() functions.
|
| Thanks in advance,
| Malini.

|
| There is no difference between Oracle on NT and Oracle on Solaris as far
as

| are being called etc.
|
| For more information take a look at the "Building Multilingual.." paper on
